Ashura activities in Bahrain

By: Ali Al-Qadumi

MANAMA, Bahrain: Like other nations Bahrainis keep on to remember the supreme sacrifice of Al-Imam Abi Abdellah Al-Hussein (A) rendered in 680 AD.

Huge majales and mawakeb al-azaiyah are held day and night at all mosques, husseiniyaat and ma’atam.

 

Black cloth is pasted on walls to signify grief over the unjust killing of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (A), Prophet Mohammad (S)'s grandson.

Speakers highlight philosophy of Karbala tragedy as well as Husseini qayam.

Tabrrok is served to all Husseini mourners.

Meanwhile, according to a circular issued by Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa ministries, government departments and institutions will be closed on Saturday and Sunday marking Ashura.
 
  "Knowledge is better than wealth because it protects you while you have to guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE ..
